摘要： A method of assisting user-configuration of hardware for a mobile autonomous cleaning robot can include detecting a flooring type of a room or other portion of an environment. A size of the portion of the environment can be detected and a total size of the environment can be determined. generating a hardware characteristic recommendation can be generated based at least in part on the flooring type, the size of the portion of the environment, and the total size of the environment.

摘要： A detection system including an autonomous collection device that is capable of moving on a floor surface and for collecting an object on the floor surface, and a station device for detecting an analyte from the object collected from the floor surface by the autonomous collection device. The autonomous collection device includes a moving part for moving on the floor surface, a primary electric blower for sucking the object on the floor surface, and a dust container for storing the sucked object. The station device includes a transfer pipe fluidically connected to the dust container of the autonomous collection device when the autonomous collection device is positioned in a home position, and a virus detection part for detecting the analyte from the object transferred from the dust container through the transfer pipe.

摘要： Described herein are sensor assembly cleaning systems and apparatuses that are adapted to rotate a transparent surface of a sensor assembly independently of a housing of the sensor assembly in order to disperse water, moisture, debris, or the like from the surface. The transparent surface may be a glass window that provides a camera of the sensor assembly with a field-of-view of an external environment. Sensor data captured from various on-board vehicle sensors such as moisture data, image data, vehicle velocity data, or the like can be evaluated against various criteria to determine when and for how long to rotate the transparent surface. Sensor data can be evaluated over a period of time to identify patterns or trends relating to one or more vehicle parameters. An activation schedule for initiating and ceasing rotation of the transparent surface can be determined based on such patterns/trends.

摘要： An automated cleaning device includes a chassis, a controller operably connected to a drive assembly and configured to move the chassis within an area to be cleaned in repeated cleaning cycles, a cleaning unit carried by the chassis, a sensor configured to detect material drawn into the cleaning unit and provide a debris signal corresponding to an amount of material drawn into the cleaning unit, the controller being operably connected to the sensor and configured to generate a high-material indicator in response to the debris signal exceeding a predetermined debris threshold, and determining whether the autonomous cleaner is in a high traffic area when the chassis moves within the area to be cleaned based on locations of high-material indicators.

摘要： A piezoelectric debris sensor and associated signal processor responsive to debris strikes enable an autonomous or non-autonomous cleaning device to detect the presence of debris and in response, to select a behavioral mode, operational condition or pattern of movement, such as spot coverage or the like. Multiple sensor channels (e.g., left and right) can be used to enable the detection or generation of differential left/right debris signals and thereby enable an autonomous device to steer in the direction of debris.

摘要： A vacuum cleaner including a pivot assembly having an interior, an exterior, and a pivot assembly electrical connector on the exterior of the pivot assembly. The pivot assembly electrical connector is electrically connected to an electrical component of a surface cleaning head. The vacuum further includes a cleaning wand having a cleaning wand electrical connector. The cleaning wand is received within the interior of the pivot assembly to removably couple the cleaning wand to the pivot assembly to place the cleaning wand in fluid communication with a dirty air inlet of a cleaning head and to removably electrically connect the cleaning wand electrical connector to the pivot assembly electrical connector. The cleaning wand electrical connector is electrically connected to the pivot assembly electrical connector to provide power to the electrical component of the cleaning head from a power source.
